MMT Quick Look: 24: Legacy

The Fox network released the new trailer for its 24 reboot 24: LEGACY on Monday – and it is looking like a winner! Debuting February 5, 2017, immediately following the Super Bowl, the series will star Straight Outta Compton‘s Corey Hawkins, with Miranda Otto (Homeland) and veteran actor Jimmy Smits (Sons of Anarchy) co-starring.

24: Legacy will follow a race against the clock to stop a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Hawkins portrays Eric Carter, who was part of an élite Army Rangers unit deployed to dispose of a terrorist leader. Back home, and trying to resume a normal life, Carter finds out the leader’s crew has tracked his whereabouts, and the countdown to avoid destruction begins.

24: Legacy will follow the original series’ real-time format, but has been ordered for 12 episodes – unlike the first one’s order for 24. Howard Gordon, Brian Grazer, Manny Coto and Evan Katz are serving as executive producers, with director Stephen Hopkins and 24 star Kiefer Sutherland.
